About Karen Gurland

BROKER
Associate

With more than three decades of experience in Toronto real estate, Karen has built her career across the city’s most sought-after central neighbourhoods. She has longstanding ties to communities like Bedford Park, Lytton Park, Clanton Park, Forest Hill North, and Allenby, where strong schools, family-friendly amenities, and established streetscapes create lasting value. These are the neighbourhoods Karen knows intimately, and her expertise allows clients to move forward with confidence and clarity.

Karen is energized by clients who appreciate a high level of professionalism and trust her to guide them through one of the largest financial decisions of their lives. She takes pride in offering a thoughtful, tailored, service-first experience that honours each client’s goals. For Karen, every transaction represents a meaningful relationship built on respect and trust.

Known for her ability to act as a true advisor, Karen listens carefully, asks the right questions, and approaches each decision with integrity and insight. Her clients rely on her for honest guidance, steady communication, and an unwavering commitment to their best interests. Delivering exceptional service is at the core of her work.

Karen’s passion for real estate began with her own early experiences buying and selling a home. She recognized a need for more professionalism, empathy, and care in the industry, which inspired her to build a career focused on elevating the client experience. More than thirty years later, that purpose continues to drive her. She is dedicated to ensuring every client feels supported, informed, and valued from start to finish.

One of Karen’s most meaningful career achievements has been her growth through top-tier brokerages, from her start at RE/MAX to her move to Harvey Kalles Real Estate. Each step reflected her commitment to higher standards and to providing her clients with superior marketing, industry leadership, and brand reputation. After joining Harvey Kalles, teaming up with Adam Weiner elevated her trajectory even further, allowing her to use her core skills at a higher level and continue growing within a high-performing, service-driven environment. This dedication to excellence has shaped her long-standing success.

Outside of real estate, Karen brings a rich professional background and a vibrant personal life. Before entering the industry, she was a high school teacher and later worked with major global companies including Hewlett-Packard and VECTRA. Beyond her career, she is committed to balance and wellness. She enjoys regular gym sessions, long walks, getting her nails done, and spending meaningful time with her family. These routines keep her grounded and energized.

Karen loves Toronto for its diversity, energy, and constant evolution. Every neighbourhood offers something unique, and she finds joy in helping clients discover the places that feel right for their lifestyle and future.

Her favourite Toronto spots include browsing Yorkdale Mall, having lunches with clients and friends, relaxing at the Four Seasons, picking up a Tunacado at Revitasize, and, on rare occasions, treating herself to a classic Quarter Pounder. She believes in balance and enjoying life’s simple pleasures.

If she were not in real estate, Karen imagines she would own a beautifully curated boutique filled with designer clothing and exceptional shoes, a space where style and individuality come together. It would be the kind of high-end boutique where she could continue offering the exceptional customer service she is known for, creating an experience that feels thoughtful, personal, and elevated.
